Rong Luyi acted as if he didn't see anything. He gestured to Gong Bin and left with his men.
They entered the box and drew the curtain down. The five sons of the Gong family sighed at the same time.
"We haven't been here for many years, right?"
Gong Er said with emotion. Gong Bin and the others had different expressions, probably because of the cold treatment they had received before.
"Don't be too happy. There must have been people here before."
Lin Mengya had been calm, and her sense of smell was very sensitive. Although the smell of the incense was light, it was to cover up the previous smell.
"That's right. When we just came here, there were many people watching us in the dark. They are definitely not here with good intentions. "
Gong Si was as calm as she was, and he could see many things very clearly.
"Rong Luyi has always been cautious. It seems that things are not as simple as we thought."
Gong Bin also noticed something unusual about it.
They were polite to the Rong family on the surface. Of course, Gong Bin wouldn't believe that Rong Luyi would be very kind.
No matter who was here before, he was afraid that the Gong family had become enemies.
"Let's be careful. We didn't come here to make friends in the first place, did we?"
Gong Si licked his lips, and a bloodthirsty light flashed across his eyes.
"You're right."
Lin Mengya leaned lazily on the couch, picked up a purple agate-like grape from the jade plate, and slid it into her mouth.
"Little sister, you were really amazing just now! Can you teach me when you have time? "
Among the five sons of the Gong family, Gong Si had always been Lin Mengya's bodyguard and the number one crazy fan.
In his eyes, no matter what his little sister said or did, she was full of indescribable charm.
Lin Mengya picked up a fresh and juicy peach, and put it into Gong Si's mouth with a smile.
"You're a kid. What can you learn? Why don't you learn from others? I'll teach you something good in the future. What do you think?"
How could Gong Si refuse? He immediately nodded and agreed hurriedly.
Gong Si looked at his silly brother and smiled helplessly.
Alas, he only hoped that his little sister would be merciful to him.
Although the private room was extremely spacious, the front part of the viewing platform was covered with a bead curtain, making it hard for people to see clearly.
Gong Bin explained to her that when the auction started, the aristocratic families would receive a list of auction items in advance.
As long as the Ten Great Aristocratic Families were interested in it, they could reserve it in advance and discuss it with the seller.
If both sides had no objections, the Ten Great Clans could directly buy it.
However, if there were two or more aristocratic families competing, the goods would be directly auctioned off on the auction stage.
In this way, neither the auction house nor the seller would anger the aristocratic families.
Generally speaking, there wouldn't be anything good on the first day.
They had only come to watch the show.
"Young Master Gong, these are the goods that we will be auctioning today. Please take a look first. If there is anything that you like, you can directly draw it with a pen. We will do our best to reserve it for you."
Not long after, someone handed over a thick register.
Gong Liu took the register and handed it to Gong Bin.
The latter flipped it open and took a look. Gong Bin then passed the name list to the others.
"The Rong Family and the Xu Family are really different now. A few years ago, the goods on the first day of the auction were all rare animals from all over the world. Are there no more strong labourers left? "
Gong San curled his lips and said sarcastically.
The register was finally passed to Lin Mengya. As Gong San had said, the first few pages were all about strong laborers. Only the fifth page was marked with a special item.
"The Rong Family's Le Slave? Isn't the Rong Family's Le Slave going to appear in a few days? "
Gong Si took over the register and pointed to a line next to it.
"Don't you see the word 'defective' written next to it? In the past, there were also disabled Le Slaves and Dance Slaves for sale, but they had to be kept for at least three times. Now, it's obvious that this one won't be good. "
"Disabled Le Slave and Dance Slave?" Lin Mengya was tempted.
She quietly pulled Baisu and gave her some instructions. Baisu nodded and left quietly.
Not long after, the sound of drums and music rang out. After a while, someone shouted loudly from outside the door.
"Let the auction begin!"
Lin Mengya's heart sank. Today, she really wanted to see the difference between the Rong Family and the Xu Family's auction!
They couldn't hear the voices below clearly from here.
But there were people going up and down the door to report the situation below.
Lin Mengya calculated carefully and found that the information below was almost synchronized with the information below.
It was impossible for them to rehearse in advance on such an occasion.
Maybe they had a special way to transmit information.
The first half of the auction was not interesting. Among the top ten aristocratic families, only a few aristocratic families at the bottom and a few aristocratic families that relied on farming bought a lot of strong slaves.
But in Lin Mengya's view, these people were drinking poison to quench their thirst.
No one would be willing to be a slave for a lifetime. Sooner or later, there would be turmoil, but they just couldn't see it now.
Soon, it was the defective Le Slave's turn.
Lin Mengya leaned on the couch and pretended to take a nap. Soon, she heard many people shouting a price outside.
"Strange, isn't it a defective one?"
Seeing Lin Mengya frowning slightly, Shang'er immediately understood what was going on.
She turned around and went out of the wing room. She asked someone a few questions and returned to her side.
"First Miss, the Le Slave that the Rong Family is auctioning this time is the one who was in charge of training."
The five sons of the Gong Family were in front of the two of them. Besides, there was a lot of noise outside, so they couldn't hear what they were doing.
"Oh? Do you know how this person ended up like this? "
Shang'er shook her head, but she also heard some news.
"It's said that this Le Slave was sent to serve a big shot, but he refused, which angered the Rong Family and he was almost disabled. I've heard people say that Le Nu could have been called a peerless beauty. But now, I guess he's only good-looking. "
It was a little strange.
Since he could train a Le Slave for the Rong Family, why didn't he go to serve the big shot?
Could it be that this person was a chaste woman, which was rarely seen?
While they were making their own guesses, the auction had come to an end.
In the end, the winner was a businessman from Yan Province. Apart from that, he didn't leave any information.
After a while, Baisu quietly returned to her side.
Leaning close to her ear, he said softly.
"Master, everything has been settled. He's in the backyard now. "
Lin Mengya nodded, stood up, and nodded to Gong Si, who happened to look at her at this moment.
She hurriedly followed Baisu out of the box with Shang'er.
"First Miss Gong, where are you going?"
As soon as she came out, someone came up to her.
However, probably because of Rong Luyi's order, these servants didn't dare to be rude to her anymore.
"It's none of your business where Miss Gong is going. Get out of my way, don't be an eyesore! "
Shang'er stood in front of Lin Mengya and scolded her rudely.
That person was snubbed. Moreover, they had nothing to please. Knowing that he was asking for trouble, he hurriedly stepped aside.
"Bah! It's just a declining aristocratic family. What's there to be proud of? "
Behind her, that person's scolding could be faintly heard.
Lin Mengya didn't get angry.
If everyone thought so, then they would have achieved their goal.
After a few turns, they arrived at an inconspicuous private room.
Baisu looked around and saw that there was no one around. She immediately rushed in with Lin Mengya and Shang'er.
"Hurry up and change. We don't have much time."
Baisu threw a set of men's clothes to them and quickly changed herself.
There was no one here, so the direction of the stand was also blocked by a curtain.
The three of them helped each other and soon finished changing their clothes.
Lin Mengya also wiped off the makeup on her and Shang'er's faces. Although there was no change in their facial features, their temperament was completely different.
Anyway, they didn't really need to show their faces in public. They just didn't want to be recognized by too many people.
They sneaked out of the box and walked to the backyard under Baisu's lead.
The backyard of the auction house was the area to claim the goods. But because of the special nature of the slave auction, there were many small rooms, which should be used for inspecting the goods.
Because the previous auctions were all young and strong slaves, there weren't many of them that could be used.
However, according to the rules, the Le Slave that Lin Mengya asked Baisu to buy secretly couldn't be treated like ordinary slaves.
The seller or the staff of the auction house had to repeat the situation of the defective goods to the buyer.
Therefore, when they arrived, the staff of the auction house began to be impatient.
When Baisu handed him the plate that represented the successful auction and matched it with the one in his hand, the staff smiled.
"I thought you didn't want him. To be honest, this Le Slave has a good temperament, but his body is useless. In fact, it's useless for you to want him. "
The staff smiled wretchedly. But no one was allowed to touch the goods in the auction house. Otherwise, they would be breaking the rules.
"That's enough. Cut the crap. Let me ask you, how is Le Slave? "
Baisu and the other two did not show any anxious look. They must not let the staff see any flaws.
The staff also knew that he had said too much and did not please the guests, so he hurriedly said.
"Le Slave used to be a servant of the Rong Family, the one who was famous in David. It's a pity that he is old and his brain is not working well. A few days ago, he violated the rules, so the Rong Family punished him. Now his legs are useless, and his throat has long been broken. His temperament is quite docile. Do you have any other questions? "
Baisu lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head.
